Part A-
On October 17,1938, a man named George Hartman interviewed a man named Sherman Dolman at 3050 West Street in Lincoln, Nebraska. This was Sherman Dolman story. Born in Velvan, Germany, Dolman came to the U.S at the age of six. Living on the Oregon trail in Nebraska, going to school for Sherman was rough. It was 1 mile on foot. He lived in a small house 16 feet long and 8 feet wide. When railroads were introduced in 1870, he took the first passenger train. He took the very same train were the 55 mile trip took 3 hours to Lincoln, were he enrolled in painting in 1910. When the depression hit, he lived on sorgum and corn-meal. Clothes were sent from the east and Sherman went outside barefoot most of the time.

I feel this is a good example of the African Americans in The Depression because it shows how low money people had. In this picture it shows a huge group of people waiting in line for "free" soup. people didn't have money and most of the people in that line are African Americans. It also shows how unemployed people are in the 1900's because the line keeps going and going off the picture and still goes on and on and on.
